how do I make a exact-phrase search?
I can't find a question section, and this is the reason I am posting here.

I want to search for an exact phrase, e.g.: "get that" not just all the threads/posts that contain the two words "get" and "that".

Typing the word in quotes didn't worked. How can I make this type of search?

There's an option of searching for "all words," not "any word." Still, those are pretty generic words, so you'd likely get nearly as many results.

I can't even find even those two options. Where are they?

Yes, this is where I am looking, in http://www.writingforums.com/search.php

I suspect that they must be infront of my eyes, but I can't see them.

Huh. It's not there anymore. I guess that was a phpBB feature.

Sorry, can't help you.
